In the name of God, stop the repression

Archbishop Oscar Romero, of El Salvador,killed by a soldier from Fort Benning, Georgia.----2008/07/31Defense Minister Jose Guillermo Garcia, a graduate of the School of the Americas, was implicated in the deaths of Ita Ford, Maura Clarke, Dorothy Kazel, and Jean Donovan.-- Reagan's Jeane Kirkpatrick, said they were not "just nuns", but political activists. --Regan's Alexander Haig said "there may have been an exchange of gunfire" as "they tried to run a roadblock." Maybe and maybe not?

Trying to find the source again quickly. But: Roberto D'Aubuisson, who was in charge of the death squads, went to the School of the Americas - which is at Fort Benning. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_RomeroThe next year, America's School was involved in the El Mazote massacre http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Mozote_massacre
